"We need to include all fossils & we want stronger language on the ban of expansion of new extraction & production. To be serious about keeping 1.5 alive we need to include those targets in the cover decision by the end of today" - H.E. Mr. Seve Paeniu, Min' of Finance, Tuvalu
"The energy & equity outcomes of COP go hand in hand. Keeping 1.5 alive means accelerating the equitable phase out of coal, oil & gas. We need a strong outcome that builds on Glasgow & acknowledges the science. If we don't see that, we'll be calling #COP27 a failure" - @catabreu_
"Fossil companies present at COP have affected the decisions made. Lack of consideration for oil & gas phase out shows this COP has failed African people. We need stronger text around fossils - this is a major backtrack from last year" - Lorraine Chiponda
"For the 1st time in 3 decades major oil & gas producing countries have called for phase out. We need strong language to be put in the COP decision text. A major blocker of this is the Egyptian COP27 Presidency." - @ajeansu
"There can be no mincing of words. We have to be clear & precise. We will accept nothing less. Let the call go forth from here that we demand the end of fossil fuels and its use, and we demand equity and compensation." - John Beard, Port Arthur Community Action Network

1/8 The Republican Governors Public Policy Committee blamed @POTUS' energy policies for rising gas prices. They urged him to roll back air pollution standards, increase oil + gas leasing, and lift the pause on new LNG export terminal. Read their letter: rga.org/joint-letter-t…
2/8 But the real challenge for the LNG industry isn't the U.S. government, but Europe. The EU recently finalized a measure limiting long-term gas contracts unless emissions are abated. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
📢 ANNOUNCEMENT: Introducing the "Japan Greenwash Summit" 🟢💼—a spoof website that exposes the truth behind the @JPNEnergySummit! 🚫 #JapanGreenwashSummit #Greenwashing japangreenwashsummit.com
1/8 🌍 Starting today, Tokyo hosts the #JapanEnergySummit, organized by #JERA & `TokyoGas. Big names like @Exxon, & @BP along with 🇯🇵@METI_JPN will discuss "clean energy" while ramping up investments in LNG & gas sectors. Hypocrisy much? 🤔💸 Read more: priceofoil.org/2024/06/03/jap…
2/8 🌐 To counter this, NGOs have launched the Japan Greenwash Summit website. It parodies the actual JES site, revealing how Japan is funding dirty energy projects worldwide while claiming to be climate champions. 🛢️❌ #ClimateCrisis
The ongoing invasion of Rafah is a devastating new climax in the genocide against Palestinians. We continue to be in solidarity w/ millions in Palestine, & in the streets & campuses, led by Palestinians & Jews, calling for a #CEASEFIRE
Our statement 👇🧵 priceofoil.org/2024/05/09/oil…
As Israel’s genocidal campaign intensifies, so does global opposition to it: students around the world are speaking out despite facing violent backlash and repression. Over 2,100 students have been arrested in the United States alone. 2/ theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
Decades of overlapping divestment movements make clear how climate justice is connected to other justice movements. Oil fuels war and accelerates the climate crisis. Divestment is a path towards justice.@dharnanoor @guardian 3/ theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
🚨 NEW: Our latest analysis tracks the trail of death and destruction along the supply chains that bring fossil fuels to Israel. Read about who is supplying the oil fueling the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.⬇️ #CeasefireNOW #OilFuelsWar 🇵🇸 priceofoil.org/israel-fuel-pr…
Israel’s war machine is heavily reliant on imports from the US, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Gabon, plus Brazil, Saudi, the UAE & Egypt. Oil majors like @bp_plc @Chevron @exxonmobil @Shell are complicit as well. #StopTheGenocideInPalestine
30,000+ have been brutally killed in the war on Palestine. With massive protests across the globe and the ruling by the @CIJ_ICJ that some of Israel's actions may have violated the terms of the Genocide Convention, countries & companies sending fossil fuels to 🇮🇱 must stop now.
❌ Has approved the most expansion of oil and gas in the region.
❌ Threatens to be the world’s 12th largest developer of new oil and gas fields.
❌ Is fully unaligned in most categories.
The science is clear: we need a full, fast, fair, funded phaseout of fossil fuels. But oil companies and the governments that support them are delaying what is needed.
